Looking to create an HMS type mount for my Noopsyche lights. Instead of paying a premium for the AI extrusion, does anyone know if that is a proprietary profile or if you can get it elsewhere?

I’ve worked on a lot of different profiles of aluminum, and I haven’t seen that profile on anything else. I don’t think it’s proprietary but still just as difficult to find in my experience.
 
I spent about an hour looking and found one similar on 80/20 but had two slots on bottom and no side slots.
I think a lot of the cut outs coincide with the hardware but you could make a jig for the hardware you choose. It won’t be exact but still structured and functional
 
Spent a little bit of time drawing my own custom mount up in fusion 360. Think I have it the way I want it. going to by some extrusion and print the mount. See how it works.
